1. It’s Finally Out in the World!
Jared, Oriana and Ned kick things off with an introduction to the podcast,
recent developments in Tolkien news and adaptations, and how they all learned
about Tolkien to start with. Treks to central Finland, developing languages as
a teenage writer, initially trying (and failing) to read The Lord of the
Rings, and slightly suspicious cover illustrations are all on the agenda.
Show Notes.
A quick sampling of Tove Jansson’s illustrations for The Hobbit. Be
sure to learn more about Jansson herself!
Oriana’s Finnish travels! Start
here and just keep hitting
the ‘next’ button.
Berwick-upon-Tweed per
Wikipedia. It’s quite north, you know.
Amazon’s Second Age of Middle-earth
map, as linked from their
@LOTRonPrime Twitter.
Oriana’s recent Vox article “Dothraki Spoken
Here” on conlangs, short for
constructed languages, as featured in Game of Thrones, Avatar and more
besides.
The official website for Tolkien,
released via Fox Searchlight.
The Montclair Film Festival.
How much of a Tolkien nerd is Stephen Colbert?
Beyond
measure.
Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth, hosted by the Morgan
Library in New York City. You’ve got until May 12!
Marquette University’s Tolkien
collection
The opening few minutes of
Rankin-Bass’s The Hobbit.
A little more on the history of Topcraft in Japan and their Rankin-Bass
partnership, along with more on the other Japanese studios Rankin-Bass worked
with.
The ‘shippy’ Legolas-Gimli Two Towers
cover
mentioned by Oriana and Jared. They do seem very comfortable with each other.
More on Elias Lönnrot and the
Kalevala, via an
English-language page hosted by the Finnish Literature Society.
The conversation between Frodo and
Gandalf on pity, mercy and
‘death in judgment’ as created by Peter Jackson and his team for The
Fellowship of the Ring.
Seamus Heaney’s (very justly famed) Beowulf translation and
presentation.
Alissa Wilkinson in Vox talking about how she couldn’t read Harry Potter when
she was younger, per Jared’s
observation on growing up in a conservative religious household.
Ned in Oxford in 1992 for the Tolkien Centenary
conference,
visiting Tolkien’s grave along with fellow attendees. Spot the VERY-tousle
haired guy near the headstone...
